Chapter 858: Miss Chen's Plan
"What good news can you have?"
Miss Chen really didn't believe that her maid could have any good news to him.
But Qing'er is very sure.
"Miss, it's really good news, there is news from the palace, on the night of Qixi Festival, the queen and the saint will set up a palace banquet in the imperial garden, and the daughters of the court's senior members will all go."
Hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan didn't care, and said, "Just go, what kind of good news is this?" ”
"Miss, listen to me, the saint said that at the palace banquet, you will marry your sons and young ladies, as long as they like each other, you can do it."
"Really?" Chen Xuanxuan was finally a little shocked and a little happy at this time.
"Of course it's true, Miss can find someone she likes when the time comes, so that the master can't marry you to Changsun Wen."
Qing'er said, although Chen Xuanxuan felt that it made sense, but she faintly felt a little difficult, just at a banquet, she wanted to find someone she liked, how easy is it?
She held her chin and thought that she could occasionally hear a cicada or two outside.
Time passed like this, and soon it was Tanabata.
On the day of Qixi Festival, many women in the Tang Kingdom meet together to release river lanterns at night, or pray together.
And the children of the officials' families also dressed up and waited to enter the palace.
At dusk, there were already a lot of people in the palace garden, and everyone gathered in twos and threes to chat, although the palace banquet had not officially begun.
However, the children of the officials' families did not dare to run around casually.
The boys said that they could follow their fathers to meet the elders, while the girls were more likely to sit quietly and wait for the palace feast to begin.
After about a stick of incense, Li Yu and Su Rong came with people, and the ministers and their families hurriedly ran to salute after seeing Li Yu and Su Rong, Li Yu waved his hand and said: "Tonight's palace banquet, you don't have to be restrained, these etiquettes are also exempted, come here, hold the lamp." ”
At the sound of an order, the lights began to be held in various parts of the Imperial Garden, and suddenly, the entire Imperial Garden was as bright as day.
After the lantern, everyone sat down, and soon, there were maids serving food one after another.
After three rounds of drinking, Su Rong stood up: "This Qixi Festival is a festival for girls' families, and today the mourning family will preside over in place of the saint, and there are many boys and girls who come today. ”
Su Rong laughed softly as she spoke, and the boys and girls present all showed a slightly nervous look.
"Let's do this first, let's have a talent show, everyone gets to know each other, and then everyone can talk casually, if you really have someone in mind, just tell the saint directly, the saint will give you a marriage, if you can't decide tonight, at any other time, it's okay."
After Su Rong finished saying this, she began to let young boys and girls show their talents.
It's just that although it is to show their talents, the talents of these boys and girls are not particularly amazing as they imagined. Men, most of them are martial arts, better Tongyin rhythms, and they can also play tunes or something, but whether it is martial arts or tunes, they are too sparse and ordinary, girls, female red, or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are what they are good at, but it is a pity that their performance is also very ordinary, and it is completely impossible to perceive how attractive their talents are.
After seeing this situation, Li Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Obviously, whether the officials of the court or the central government are aware of their intentions, they don't really want their children to decide their marriage, so they must have told their children not to show too much.
Otherwise, these young ladies of the Tang Dynasty, the most tasteful group of people, can't just be like this situation and performance.
However, even if Li Yu is not very satisfied, he is not easy to say, this kind of thing, if he is angry, it will seem to be small.
Everyone's performance talents one by one, some are cold, a little funny, some are virtuous, some are cute, but they are all hidden and not easy to detect.
Su Rong looked at it and shook her head incessantly, and at this time, Li Yu suddenly whispered in Su Rong's ear, and after Su Rong heard it, she showed a light smile.
"It's better to do it in the Holy Sense."
After Su Rong said this, she waved her hand at the boys and girls: "Okay, we won't show our talents now, let's play some other small games." ”
After Su Rong said this, everyone else stopped, and at the same time, they were all curious about what little game the queen wanted them to play.
"In this way, we ask the girls to draw, and the pictures they draw can be expressed in one word, and then let the boys guess, and if they guess correctly, there is a reward, and if they guess wrong, they will be punished."
It's just a separate performance talent, it is difficult for them to understand each other, and there is too little interaction, so Li Yu gave Su Rong such an idea, this is a bit similar to the guessing word that people often play in later generations, one person performs, and the other person guesses.
It's just that here, it's replaced by painting.
Su Rong explained the rules of the game, after listening to these young boys and girls, they were more interested, to be honest, they were not satisfied with being decided by their parents to marry, but let them find someone to marry in such a short period of time, or marry, it was also difficult for them to accept.
So, their parents let them behave a little worse, and they behaved.
But now that you're going to play the game, you're still very interested, and you're also interested in showing it, what if you really find the right person, anyway, it's not a talent show?
After finishing speaking, Chen Xuanxuan was selected, she wanted to paint, and then let people guess what words his painting represented.
Chen Xuanxuan's painting is still very good, even if it is a fast painting, it is better than the talent performance just now, after she painted a painting, she took it out.
In the painting, there is a horse, and there is a person right away, and there are some butterflies around the horse's hooves, and the whole painting is so much, and then it is taken out for everyone to guess.
It's just that after seeing this painting, many people don't understand what words she is drawing.
"Could it be that you are leading the way?"
"How can it be a leader, this painting is quite meaningful, it may be a poem."
"A poem, what kind of poem is that?"
Everyone is smart and thinks that this is a poem, but they can't guess what the poem is, and just when everyone was talking like this, a teenager suddenly stood up and said: "This is the horseshoe fragrance returning from stepping on flowers." ”
After this sentence came out, everyone was stunned, and then they were in a trance. "It's a good sentence to step on the flowers and return to the horseshoe fragrance, the painting has an intentional meaning, and this word is also beautiful......"
